Y'all talked me into it

I think you'll like that, BSR, and if you like a rye then try the 1910.
I keep a jug in the freezer. The colder it is, the better it tastes.
(Please drink responsibly. Failure to do so can result in a phenomenon known as BigRig Inverticitis, and no one wants that!)
Now, I know I'm going to catch hell for this but I'm a "Mix Drink" guy. I don't like complicated drinks, I like 'em simple. So for me the whiskey or bourbon has to mix well with Coke and mind you now I don't mix 'em weak! There is just enough Coke to kill the bite. I fill the glass with ice, then 2/3 or better with booze (get's stronger the more I drink [:D] ) then it gets a splash of coke. For me this is the only way I can drink spirits unless it is "shot" time and I stay away from shots mostly, well I have been known to toss a hooker or two of the legal store bought moonshine.
In my opinion not all different brands of whiskey/bourbons make good mixers, I have close to 20 different brands of whiskey and bourbon and not all of them mix well with my way of mixing.
For me my favorites are ,
Makers Mark
Jim Beam
And Jack Daniels in a pinch.
My two least favorites are
Jim Beam Devils Cut, the woodsy flavor is just too much.
Elija Craig, leaves a funky after taste.
The Pendelton mixed well, not too sweet amd not skunky like some of the others. I will be drinking more of this and the price is perfect. $29 a bottle compared to $49 for a smaller bottle of Makers. Now the next time Bryanns dad comes up to visit I'm having him make a liquor store run for me, for some wierd reason booze is a ton cheaper in CA.
I am so very disappointed in you, BSR!![V]
The only thing (other than ice!) that good whicky like that should be mixed with is saliva![^]
(It is best, when drinking in the presence of others, to be sure and mix said whicky and saliva internally. Doing otherwise will really gross out your drinkin' companions!)[:D][:D][:D]
Enjoy!!![^]
Dear Heavens! My head is spinning. My heartbeat is thready and weak. I am stunned.
I am going to My safe space...[:I]
Good Lord, Aunt Agatha![:(!]

From the looks of your spelling you have been in the "wickey"!
Mixing good whiskey?!? With Coke?!?

LMAO [:D]
BTW, I can't handle it straight up or just on ice, get the heartburn somethin fierce. Has to have just enough Coke to take the edge off. I'm not a girlie drink mixer, there is just a splash of Coke, I can get roughly 6 drinks made out of 1 can [8D]

That used to be the only way I would drink it, now I don't even use Ice.

If'n I was closer I'd buy you a drink! I think we probably both need one after that shocking disclosure!![:D]
Some purists want thier steaks still mooing and no A1 or you're a commie. [:o)]
Sorry, gotta have me a splash of Coke [:D][:D][:D]

I guess I should ad a bottle of this Pendleton 1910 to my SHFT stores?
I suggest it highly. NeoBlackDog was kind enough to gift myself and CapnMidnight each a bottle some time back when we met for lunch.
I got hooked. Bad. I have been a single malt man for years, but the 1910 Rye whiskey is awful tasty. I went through the bottle Steve have me...and at least two more after. Faulty corks and evaporation you know. [:I]

At least yours hangs around long enough to evaporate! Once that cork goes bad on mine it just seems like someone's pouring it right out... Dang'dest thing.
And yes, Shilowar, you need to add this to your SHTF stores. Just be carefuyl with the corks...[;)]
I have a steadfast rule, if you can't drink it neat, or with an ice cube or two, it ain't worth drinking. And, if your going to drink it with coke, why buy good whiskey? You can't tell the difference. And I'll bet money on that.
As far as the quality of Pendleton's 1910, well, I'd put it right up there with roping steers, shooting elk, and sex with the lights on. It has been said that I'm a fair shot, and a damn fine judge of good whiskey.
